Demons

Many of us fight the cold lonely battle of the darkness called depression every day, it is a constant war throughout our life. It is something we must fight just to to stay alive. Believe me you are not alone as I walk down the same path with you. Please remember that suicide is not painless and it is never the answer to the questions we seek. THINK ABOUT THIS. You are never alone for I am here for you and just know this someone does love you. God loves you Jesus loves you. And the one person who says love is dead me, I love you too.

Demons

These demons that I have been
fighting I know are for real, from all of the scars on my heart to this pain that will never heal.
Some days I lay in my bed to go to sleep but at night I am still awake, for all of the bad ones have taken all of my dreams 
to forsake. I fear that my fate has been already been sealed so even with God's help I tried the I tried the very best that I could, but I believe my world this one that I had once loved is now over as it fell to their side. For my entire life has been wasted on bad choices and wrong decisions that I have made as it it feels like it has been nothing but another day in hell, because it I let it mean nothing to me, the faster I fell.
I tried to fight back and fought many battles for my freedom and for the last of my sons, for Ryder I beat easy but for the addiction well sometimes it is still on. I fought hard with the courage and the strength of His only son, but at the end of the battles I am afraid no matter who was helping me I was still only one.
So to all those friends that I have taken with me into my heart, you have taught me that maybe humanity does deserves a new start, so please do not ever worry for me for you see I will never really be gone, all of the pieces of my poetry that I
have written for you, well they will be in my soul and will always carry on. I do hope that when you read them and that tear starts to form, it is okay to remember me so please let them all fall to the ground,. And for all those others outhere who are like me, the ones who are hurting from the inside, we were all born into the darkness without  the light inside. We hide our deep 
sadness from all those that we love, and we could never be treated by any doctor’s glove 
All the smiles that we share, and all the laughs we hand out, well that is only mask to hide our deep loneliness as we look for a way out.
Please believe me when I say that yes we still love our all of our left children so blame is theirs not, but we tried all the choices and believe me we fought. So if the darkness or depression or any mental illness
does not ever find you, please do
 not be so quick to cast us out, you should be thankful my friends that it missed you and that is with out a doubt. My friend Robin Williams fought with his demons, and he fought a good fight, but alas he lost
his long battle with the darkness, 
for him there was no light. 
So I want to say thank you to Robin for all the great laughs, you have been the light in our battles as we have walked down some of the same paths. 
I personally still mourn you, whereas my demons may still win, but as the gates of heaven open for me I will scream, 
“Nano Nano” and then I will walk on in.

When I close my eyes

When I Close my Eyes I might not be able to change the world and I might not be able to change your mind I might not be able to make you love me but I can dream about It when I close  my eyes late at night when I am living somewhere in my mind for  that is where  I go every chance  When I want to escape All the violence and the hate a place where you and I walk hand and hand Down the peaceful streets At night after our date A place that is filled with laughter and tears drinking margaritas on the beach with you while we are dancing in the rain where I always smile and I forget all the pain a place where peace has won the war and race matter not any more where we can all now dance out in the streets rich or poor now all live next door to door a place where the sun shines every day and there are no dark clouds anymore where there are no chains that bind us all a...

It has been 10 years since I wrote my first book.

  "A story of one man's epic love for his son who is not of his blood." One day I was woken up by a dream I think it was really a nightmare I was alone or so I thought, I was seeing shadows and I kept hearing voices whispering in my ear so I started listening and writing it down, I still do that today. That was ten years ago and with those words, I wrote my first book., The Battle Lost: Ryder's Birth, It was a whopping fifty-two pages each a separate piece of poetry with extremely bad grammar, misspelled words, and no punctuation I had a good friend go through it when I got it back there were so many red marks I flashed back to high school. It has been on Amazon's top ten Epic Poetry (Free) in the Kindle Store for ten years. Ryder is now eleven years old and doing awesome it really was an epic battle physically, mentally, and emotionally fought in Parker County, Texas. DNA does not matter if you love that child enough and I Proved that. Actually, Attorney Bethel T...

Happily ever after amen.

Happily ever after amen.  Every now and then you will meet someone that makes your heart begin to pound so hard that it feels as if it will break through your chest or crack a few ribs at best, as you can hear  your blood flowing through  your veins like a mighty river fed by the rains of angry massive wintkrms to the sea also making it hard to breathe as you start to feel the heat coming from somewhere down deep in your soul smoldering until you see her beautiful face then your heated passion takes control igniting a raging fire the is now burning out of control as it feels like it is two hundred fifty degrees and your boiling from the inside, as tears fall from your eyes as their sheer beauty is so bright it leaves you feeling blind, and when they look up and smile at you the oh so real feeling of panic hits you right in the face as you freeze up talking nothing but gibberish losing all concept of speech and losing control of your knees falling to the ground as if you w...
